Dealing with the mentally ill in San Antonio
Listen to the NPR story
San Antonio Mental Health story
With a partner...

What about the police officer? Did he seem trustworthy? Why?
The letter from Ruth Marcus to The House of Representatives (p. 16) discusses the issue of technology on the floor of the House of Representatives. She gently and humorously argues it is a distraction.
LT is currently considering allowing student to BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) and may start issuing tablets to students beginning next year. What do you think about the use of smart phones and tablets in the classroom? Should they be allowed or not? What are the pros and cons of their use in the classroom?
Should they be allowed but only under certain conditions? If so, what conditions? Write for approximately 7 minutes.
Homework:
